Simple Planes Community,
Thank You! I’ll paste the operating information first, but please take a little bit of time to read my blurb at the end!

OSB 1 is the top left of the screen, directly beside the ON/OFF switch. Most buttons are inop/cosmetic.
Wide Screen Navigation
After turning screen ON press OSB 30 to switch displays. Then, press OSB 28 labeled Nav. You can cycle selected airfields with OSB 26 & 27. Then, OSB 12 locks in your selection and cycles between your INS/ILS.


When selecting ILS for your air field (and within 20 NMs) your hud will display this:

Credits
None of this would be possible without KCferrari’s Original F-15C! I first downloaded his plane over 8 years ago when I was 12 years old. Since then, I've added everything I've thought about to it. The phases of my childhood are present in the hundreds of versions of this plane I've made. Some are ridiculous. There are some missile monsters. Dozens of past attempts of liveries. While KCferrari’s original design is nowhere to be found in this build, he is to thank for my design stumps when I couldn't figure out my own measurements.

I finally got serious about building this F-15C to be the best on the platform around 2 and a half years ago with the release of hfusiwjf29’s J-20A. His J-20A is the earliest predecessor to this plane. I used his Hud, Sit, and Nav pages. I merely edited the code to conform it to my F-15.

There's no dedicated low parts version as of now. A previous version of the jet will be posted in its place.
